Oxycodone, Tailbone

Updated

Hey forum members! I have read on this website a lot o er the past 5 years but now I am finally writing my own post ...Well let me start by saying I broke my tailbone 5 years ago (when I was 18) and it took a whole year of getting xrays (with no diagnosis because they could not see the fracture) , until they ordered me and MRI which did in fact show the fracture! I was diagnosed with a NON - HEALING fracture in my coccyx and ha e been on percocets (5mg-325) up to 6 a day ever since! As you all know with chronic pain you have your good days and bad! The pain medicine only takes away maybe 60-80% of the pain at times, and its what I would describe as excruciating ...sharp....throbbing and aching...sore...just hurts all the time!! Its the worst thing I've ever gone through!!! Well today I fell at work and BROKE IT EVEN WORSE! - Confirmed at hospital through xray! It is hurting 10times as it usually does of course ;( and they increased my pain medicine to the 7.5s and to take two at a time even if I needed to! What I am looking for by posting this is help...help from people like myself who have suffered from pain, chronic pain and maybe even people who are experiencing the same thing I am?? Maybe some advice, encouragement?? I am going to my regular doctor as soon as I can because I am in pain management!! Thankyou for all replies and I wish everyone the best of luck, one thing I can say is what has happened to me has somewhat been a blessing ....allowed me to not take life for granted at a very young age! Thanks everyone!!

I am very sorry about what happened to you and that you are suffering.

Has the new medication dosage been helping, at all?

Learn more Percocet details here.

Have they given you any other treatment options, or are pain medications pretty much it for you?

Have you tried kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty? This is where the Dr injects a bone cement into the spine to stabilize the fracture. My 89 year old Mom had it done because of several hairline fractures in her back and wished that they would have invented it 50 years ago when she got the pain in her back. She lived until she was 91 without the pain that she had been living with all those years. Here is a website that explains both procedures:

Sorry to hear about your pain. I also broke my tailbone and it hurts terrible. But thankfully I am in no more pain. I had my tailbone removed. Its about a 10 minute surgery that changed my world. I suggest you look into doing the same. It took a little bit to find a doctor to do it ( why, I dont know) but It was worth it. I have zero pain. I can even ride on the back of a motorcycle again! Good luck to you. I hope this helps.
